they never live up to the hype. >> this one did. >> and then some. people have been rocking all night long. the game went back and forth for a little while. >> of course, this is something no anchor on this broadcast has ever gotten to say, that cleveland is the home of the nba champions. that's because this is basketball history for the cleveland cavaliers in several ways and in the most dramatic way possible. >> and this was a critical moment right there when they made history right there. the game was going back and forth for quite awhile as i mentioned with one minute left, it was tied at 89. and then kyrie irving sank a three-pointer. and the celebrations just flooded oracle arena right there in oakland. but the final score, we should point out was cleveland 93, golden state 89. first major victory, by the way. in any sport for cleveland since 1964.

>> lebron james named mvp. no surprises there. >> i'm home. i'm home. this is what i came back for. i'm at a loss for words. this is unbelievable. it doesn't feel real right now. >> the cavs' win headaches them the first team to ever rally from a three games to one deficit to win the title. abc's t.j. holmes has been covering the whole series for us. ooze joining us now. >> reporter: well, kendis, diane, we simply can't believe what we just saw. in part because we've never seen it before. history was made yes, here at oracle arena. the cleveland cavaliers came back from a 3-1 deficit in the nba finals to win the championship. that has never been done before. and they did it on this court. now, this was a different game from all the others we've seen. this one was neck and neck the entire game. we've seen a lot of blowouts as you know, but this was a heart stopping game no matter if you were clearing for somebody or

not. this was just one of those games that came down to the very end. it was very tight. and kyrie irving buries a three-pointer with time running down at the end of the game, they kind of sealed the deal in a lot of ways, if you will. they were all kind of stunned. we talked to lebron james a short time ago. you'll hear from him later. he said right now he is flat out exhausted. didn't realize how hard this would be. he made history and he can't wait to get back to cleveland. they're going to give him all the energy he needs. guys, this was a special series. it's over. but the drought in cleveland is over. 52 years, their first major sports championship in that city since 1964. kendis, diane, what a night. >> what a night indeed. the city right there on the lake. but has been enduring a drought for some 50 years. >> drought no longer >> what about this, the president. >> big basketball fan. he did not let a recent trip to

freewaying the road's closure. firefighters used water drops and hoses to prevent any other homes from being danieled. a wildfire further north in california is mostly contained. several structures were damaged. we can tell you no houses. residents have now been allowed to return to their homes. there's no real relief on the way for firefighters across the entire southwest. temperatures will continue to climb today approaching all-time record high temperatures with phoenix looking at 120, las vegas 115, palm springs, wow, 122. degrees there in the coachella valley. one week after the orlando nightclub massacre, as many as 50,000 people gathered around a lake in the heart of downtown orlando. the crowd held an emotional candlelight vigil and chanted about peace and love. the mayor called on everyone to stand up and speak. >> out against hatred. also just before that vigil got started a rainbow appeared over

>> could you get the nra to budge on this. >> i'll talk to them. >> donald trump talking to abc news about guns in the aftermath of the orlando massacre saying he still wants to sit down with the nra. >> we have to make sure that people that are terrorists or have even and inclination toward terrorism can not buy weapons. guns. >> reporter: but on the campaign trail, trump is doubling even, tripling down on his call for more guns on civilians. >> and one of the people in that room happened to have it and goes boom, boom. >> reporter: his position a far cry from president obama who repeated his case for limiting access to assault weapons. >> and if we don't act, we will keep seeing more massacres like this. >> reporter: the likely democratic nominee hillary clinton echoing that call and backing the effort to make it illegal for anyone on a terror watch list to buy firearms. >> surely we can agree if the

fbi is watching you for suspected terrorist links, you should not be able to buy a gun with no questions asked. >> reporter: trump surprised the political world when he appeared to agree with that sentiment. >> i'd like to see that and i'd like to say it. it's simpler. but what they say and i understand that also is the second amendment. they're depriving them of those rights. >> reporter: it's not clear how much that position will impress the nra, a group which backs trump but opposes more gun restrictions. >> if there's a reason to believe in probably cause that they're engaged in terrorist activity they ought to not only be prevented from getting a firearm, they ought to be arrested. at the same time, the government makes mistakes. >> gloria riviera, abc news, washington. >> the cleveland cavaliers weren't the only first time champions of a prominent sporting event sunday. >> dustin johnson took only the u.s. open trophy as he captured his first major tour victory.

he won by three strokes at the oak man the country club in pennsylvania. johnson had been 0 for 28. >> the fact he won by three strokes saved a potential nightmare for tournament officials. he was hit with a one-shot penalty after the final round ended. >> johnson lost that stroke because officials ruled that he caused the ball to move before he took a shot on the 5th hole. he didn't find out though that that shot was under review until seven holes later. >> so just imagine he's trying to win his first u.s. open championship and they tell him duringing there when it's already a mind game that you might have lost a shot right there. >> i think the hardest part is the one or the other. either don't tell him so his head is clear or tell him immediately because that may change his strategy. >> rory mcilroy tweeteded it was amateur hour. a lot of people were embarrassed by the way it played out on sunday for the u.s. open.
